Dunlop

Dunlop first entered the sports business in 1910 when the company started production of golf balls. After Dunlop Holdings was acquired by BTR plc in 1985, Dunlop Sport was combined with the Slazenger brand which Dunlop had acquired in 1959 to form Dunlop Slazenger.
Dunlop is now one of the leading brands in the manufacture of racquet sports equipment and have sponsored notable players such as Tomáš Berdych, Mardy Fish and Fernando Verdasco.
